Dealing with Creative's block​

How to overcome creative's block​

Writer’s block and/or creative block is one of my biggest pet peeves because sometimes it can last a few days or it can last a lot longer. However, what usually helps you get over creative’s block?

 

[Demon_skeith]

I've never had writer's block, I've had days I don't want to write anything but deep in mind I like to churn out a hundred stories lol.

 

[Shortie]

I have gone through writer's block a few times and it can be frustrating. I find taking some time away and coming back later helps. Heading out for a walk can help the ideas flow.

It’s very frustrating. The main thing that helps me out is when I just write down ideas and write basic things, then come back to it later & see if my ideas start flowing better.

I also noticed that if I take a lot of time away from writing, then writer’s block is a lot harder to overcome smh

I can agree with this. I took a five-year break from writing myself from 2017 - 2022 and coming back I enjoyed, but I found I hit writer's block frequently, which became frustrating.

Now I find I do not hit it as often but it does still sometimes happen.

 

[Demon_skeith]

Never had it, so can't say. I have had days I didn't feel like writing anything, but that's just me being lazy lol.

 

[TopSilver]

I don't get writers block much but you could watch a movie and more then likely your ideas will come back to life.

I personally type so much in about 10 years my wrist might need attention.

I always take a break. It is as simple as that. If I push to continue writing when I am having writer's block, I will end up not giving my best.

 

[Soulwatcher]

I get writer's block every morning. I usually listen to music or watch TV, and then it usually goes away. And if that doesn't work, ill listen to music all day until dinner and then for sure writer's block is gone.

How to deal with writers block​

I could be writing ,and the next minute,I just go all blank.

Now ,going blank is not an issue.
But when you have a deadline starring at you, then it becomes a very big issue.😊

Most times,I put off my system and take a walk.

Does it happen to you too?
How do you deal with it?

 

[Soulwatcher]

I often get writer's block early in the morning, and what I have to do is take a break and turn music on. I have a subscription to Amazon Music and I usually have to listen to it for an hour or so, and then I am good to go.

 

[Shortie]

Writer's block is very real and when it hits, it can be frustrating. I have many times hit writer's block and know just how frustrating it can be.

When I hit writer's block, I tend to go for a walk or even take a break from writing for a little and I find over time, ideas come to me and I get myself out of writer's block.

How do you deal with writer's block? Do you hit writer's block often?

 

[fords8]

I have writer's block all the time. But not writing a book and story. Just for what I want to say in forum posts. haha

 

[cpvr]

The method that helps me the most when I have writer’s block is writing down words. When I finally break free from the block, I know exactly what I was thinking about, and I can continue from there. I always try to write down my ideas, even when I'm dealing with writer’s block.

 

[Soulwatcher]

I always try to write down my ideas, even when I'm dealing with writer’s block.

That's a really good idea, I am going to try writing down ideas next time I get writer's block to see if it helps me out.

It’s a good tool for those who can’t write on their own, but I’d rather write my own content and prefer to keep it that way. Would you rather see sites full of AI-written content all over the internet, or would you prefer to see unique and genuinely human-written content? Have you written any stories using this AI service?

AI was trained by a human’s mind, but it’ll never be better than a human’s mind.

That's a really good idea, I am going to try writing down ideas next time I get writer's block to see if it helps me out.

How to Overcome Writer’s Block​

1. Make Writing a Habit​

“Creativity is a habit, and the best creativity is a result of good work habits.” - Twyla Tharp

2. Talk to a Friend​

3. Find Out When You’re Most Creative​

To avoid or overcome writer’s block, think about what time of day you find it easiest to be creative.

4. Stay Away From Distractions​

Distractions can reduce your focus, interrupt your flow, or keep you from starting a project.

5. Work on Another Section​

You don’t have to write a piece in the order it will be read.

6. Move to Another Space​

Sometimes, a change of scenery can help you continue writing. Moving outside, to a café, or even just to another spot in your office—from chair to couch—might be all you need to break through.

7. Read, Read, Read​

Reading can provide inspiration, motivation, catharsis, or escape, all of which make reading an excellent cure for writer’s block

Reading has helped me out a lot in curing past writer’s block.

I can't write fictional stories at all. It would be incredibly hard. Well, that's why novelists are paid a good deal of money. That's what they're trained to do.

Note: the problem with AI is if it's as good as a professional, then how can professionals keep an above-average wage, assuming they get any wage at all?

Writer's block can occur to any writer, I guess nobody has it all when it comes to writing. I have experienced it several times though it didn't frustrate me. Whenever it comes, I know that's the time to move out, change my environment and take a walk. I can go inside an ice-cream shop and took some flavours or I can give myself a treat to a nice meal very far from home. Before I will get back, I'm refreshed and words will be popping up on where I stopped.

 

[Alicia]

Just take a break, take a walk far from your working sites, take some dance or play some games.

I love to take a walk to a place faraway, do other things that's not related to my writing and play some music, that's the way I overcome writer's block.

However, what usually helps you get over writer’s block?

Hmm... I get it quite often, tbh. My blog is mostly just a hobby that I do on the side, so I'm not writing in it very often, since it isn't something I'm trying to turn into a side gig. I'm just doing it for fun, so whenever I feel like it, could be a few days, could be weeks or months between posts. I spend most of my time with family IRL, and my new job I'll need to be setting time aside for.

 

[Alicia]

Several days, several times have I had writer's block. I will be blank for some hours or even some days, the best I will do that moment or those days is to take my time out of the forums or platforms to cool my head.

 

[uptrendfinancialsignal]

I completely understand your point. For me, changing environments really helps. Sometimes, I find that writing in a different location or at a different time of day sparks new ideas in me.

 

[Alicia]

Changing environment helps too. Allowing yourself to be away from writing some hours or a day will also help out a lot. Writer's block can only be cloudy when you force yourself to write while tired.

 

[lens]

I like tips on changing the environment. I also find talking to fellow writers or joining writing groups very helpful as well. Because if you share struggles and hear from others' experiences, it’ll help provide fresh perspectives.

Reading and research are definitely excellent ways to reboot yourself. I also try to overcome writer’s block by setting tiny and achievable goals. Sometimes, I boost my momentum by writing just 250 words of content.

I never go through writer's block because I can always think of something to write about.

What does happen, though, is word block. I often know exactly what I'm writing, and then get to the point in the sentence where I am at the point of, "What word was that I was going to select? If I can't think of it, I need to rewrite this entire sentence, and maybe the entire paragraph, or it won't flow as I intended."

There have been some times that I can think of what to write but due to the sentences not making sense to me, I will rewrite or I can start afresh to write it again. I didn't know that's word block happening to me.

 

[freelancermaria]

I have been working as a content writer for quite a long time, but I still have issues with writer's block. When I find myself stuck, I find that changing my setting can be of help. Changing where I work can get my creative juices flowing again. I also try not to bother too much about grammar and just concentrate on getting my ideas down. Moving away from my desk for a break is another way that helps me loosen up and collect my thoughts. How about you? What do you do to overcome writer's block?

 

[eLdavis]

Though I think everyone has different ways they use when it comes to overcoming writer's block. In situations like this I usually take a little break, during this period I use it to not only relax my mind but also go through materials and contents from others. This would help me get inspiration, having a short walk and viewing new places is also a good way to combat writer's block.
